'Duties will vary.'
Anyone in the office can boss you around and tell you what to do.
'I'll never forget the time they gave me a farewell party at work. I was so surprised; I didn't even know I had been fired.'
A boss shows one of his staff his brand-new sports car. 'That is an amazing car,' the employee responds.
'Isn't it?' replies the boss. 'But if you can set your goals higher and work even harder this year, then I can get a much more expensive car next year.'
Boss: 'I've decided to use humor in the office. Experts say humor helps to ease tension, which is important in the times when the workforce is being reduced.'
'Knock, knock.'
Employee: 'Who's there?'
Boss: 'Not you anymore.'
Boss: If Mr. White comes into the office today, tell him I'm out.
Secretary: Yes, sir, anything else?
Boss: Yes. And try not to look too busy when he shows up, or he'll know you're lying.
In any office, you can always tell who the boss is. He's the one who watches the clock during your coffee break.
One day, a salesman dropped in to see a business customer. The office was empty except for a big dog that was clearing trash cans. The man in the store wondered if his eyes were deceiving him as he looked at the animal. Just then, the dog looked up and said, 'Don't be surprised, sir, this is all part of my job.'
'That's simply incredible!' muttered the man. 'I can't believe it! I must tell your boss what a fantastic asset he has in you - a dog that is able to talk!'
'No, no, please don't do that,' said the dog. 'If my boss finds out I can talk, he'll make me answer the phones and clean the office.'
